How we read the fine print

Every verdict is manually reviewed from the official, publicly available TOS or EULA.

Locate the official source

We find each platform’s publicly available TOS or EULA and record the exact URL.

Translate legalese to plain answers

We read the relevant sections for six specific rights and render each as Yes, No, or Limited.

Stamp it OWN or LICENSE

OWN if you have permanent access without ongoing platform obligations; LICENSE if access is conditional on the platform’s continued operation and terms.

What OWN vs LICENSE means

OWN: you have a permanent copy you retain regardless of platform status. LICENSE: the platform grants conditional access that can be revoked.
